- TSgt Fred Sebers Memorialization: We have recently made some huge progress in obtaining support (funding) for an indoor memorial to TSgt Sebers.  Building 519 on Goodfellow AFB was dedicated to the memory of TSgt Sebers, a 202 who was trained at Goodfellow, on 22 Sep 06.  Since then we have been working to place a memorial inside the building so everyone would know who TSgt Sebers was and how he died for his country.  With the support of the new 316  TRS commander, we are now working funding thru Air Force channels which will allow us to place a portrait of TSgt Sebers and a shadow box containing his medals and a short history in the main hallway of the building – where it will get maximum exposure.  We hope to complete this project my years end.

- EC-47 Restoration Project: Our chapter is working to replicate the original interior of the aircraft; if you have any diagrams, pictures, etc. that may help please contact the Heritage Chapter.
